Absolute Zone Zero: I survive in Liufen Street

"Bai Yu, what kind of story do you think is the most touching?" After venting all her emotions, [Fu Fu] lifted her hair and instantly regained her composure.

He asked this question seriously, but before Bai Yu could give an answer, he answered himself: "Stories with flesh and blood, that make you laugh and cry, are the ones that can most arouse people's emotions.

It may be because of different personal preferences. Some people like comedy, while others like tragedy.

But it is undeniable that tragedy is more impressive than a happy ending.

After all, happiness is always similar, but tragedy has thousands of different ways to be sad and lamentable.”

"I know this, but what do you mean?" Bai Yu just quietly sank into the sea of ​​consciousness and took a look at the system itself.

The system data within his sea of ​​consciousness was churning at high speed, but there were no significant fluctuations. Thanks to the connection established by the host contract, Bai Yu didn't notice anything amiss. With a slight sense of relief, he finally had the energy to seriously consider the information Fu Fu had brought him.

“Don’t understand?

Okay, let me tell you another way. Didn't you just ask why "I" appeared again? "Fu Fu slid her finger, and a screen of light appeared before Bai Yu's eyes. The scene playing on it was a video of a player trying out the character "Bai Yu" in the game.

“This is why.

While you are using your precious time to shape your "self" to play "friend games" and pretend to be in the house, [fate] has already begun to adjust your "role".

When the final [script] is set and all the [roles] are back in place, how will you, having lost the chance to create your own story, resist the "role" that [fate] has forced upon you?!

Take a good look at this "Bai Yu" who was arranged by the debugging. Is he really you!? "

[Fu Fu]'s words were like a heavy hammer, cleanly and neatly smashing the comfortable feeling brought by the warm daily life these days.

Bai Yu looked at the adorable young boy in the waiting pose on the screen, his lips trembling. He couldn't help but clench his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms.

"'He'...is not me." Bai Yu replied with a trembling voice.

"Very good, it seems that you have understood the seriousness of the matter a little." [Fu Fu] nodded, and her expression finally eased a little.

He glanced at Bai Yu, who was trembling uncontrollably, and sighed. He softened his tone and said, "Little guy, I know you cherish your current life and friends, and you are working hard to improve your strength.

But you've completely missed the point.

No matter how real this world is, it's just a game. What you need to do is become a special character in it, not truly integrate into this world.

Even these three short months are more exciting than your past twenty-six years. You must not forget your true self.

Have you not yet realized that your self-awareness has shifted?

Now you love to laugh, play, and express your emotions. Having become accustomed to your teenage identity and personality, can you still remember what your adult self was like?

"My former self?" Bai Yu began to recall in confusion what he looked like before.

The pale and thin figure in the mirror reappeared in Bai Yu's mind.

"...I thought it was all because I'd recovered and encountered so many kind people and things." Bai Yu spread his hands, looking at the bloody marks on his palms. "So, shouldn't I be the way I am now? Could it be that this 'body' of mine is affecting me?"

"Oh~" [Fu Fu] walked over and stroked Bai Yu's palm, and the tiny scars disappeared in an instant.

He poked Bai Yu's forehead and said helplessly, "I don't know whether I should admire 145's ignorance and fearlessness, or sigh at your luck, which is neither lucky nor unlucky.

From the very beginning 145 should not save energy on your body.

But there is a system protection between the data body and your [conscious body], so even if it affects you, it won't be too much.

But I didn't expect that because of the [gift from fate], you turned "virtual" into "real" and really came back to life.

How could you not be affected by this?

Moreover, this overly real world has confused your perception as an ordinary person, and the gentleness of [World Consciousness] has misled the inexperienced 145.

You two little guys are completely unaware of how cruel the [Gift from the World] is, and how cold and terrifying [Fate] is.

If you allow fate to arrange your blank "past" and "future" and fall into it defenselessly, then all your unwilling struggles in the future will become embellishments to add fun to the stage.

Little one, it’s time to wake up from your sweet dream.”

"Then what should I do now?" Bai Yu's mind was in a mess due to receiving too much information at once, and he subconsciously sought help from the reliable "elder" in front of him.

Fu Fu patted Bai Yu's head and said to him, "What you need most right now is not strength, but to find your place in the [Drama of Destiny].

Before the curtain of the [Stage of Destiny] rises, weave your own part.

Only by grabbing more room for performance in the [play], when it really begins in the future, will we not be completely swallowed up by the vortex created by [fate].

If you don't want to be a stepping stone on the [protagonist's] growth path, you must arrange a complete and reasonable growth path for yourself, and don't give [fate] too many opportunities to play.

This is the only way to ensure that the people around you will not become victims of "drama".

But when necessary, you can let the identity of 145 disappear. It becomes your highlight..."

"No!" Bai Yu, who had been listening intently to Fu Fu's words with his eyes lowered, suddenly raised his head and stepped back, breaking away from her caressing hand. With a solemn expression, he said, "I will absolutely not let Fu Fu make any sacrifices for the sake of so-called 'glory'!"

"The underlying tone of this [world] is destruction, so the story is destined to be turbulent and full of dangers. Not everything will go as you wish.

If you don't take the initiative to arrange your "role", you may passively become the reason for others to move forward.

Even the so-called "protagonist" cannot escape the tragic past. Do you think that "Phaethon" and his companions can live a happy and fulfilling life in the future?

Little one, you have to understand: [Games] don’t need boring and mediocre [Stories], so [Fate] is never kind.”

Small Theater

[Fu Fu]: For your future, you have to blah blah blah...

Bai Yu: I won’t! My fate is in my own hands!!

Fu Fu: (Shoots a loud slap) You big-headed ghost! This is Mihoyo's world!
